Mental Illness and Menstrual Cycle: A Connection?

Check out PMDD, if it's really bad 😞 my partner will get suicidal and depressed a week before her period starts and apparently it's a super common thing but because it only affects women, there isn't too many studies done on it

YES! my hormones totally override my anti-depressants. my doctor put me on birth control to try to regulate it and it helped a lot :)

It's very common for someone's emotional state to be out of wack during one's menstrual cycle. It's your hormones going nuts. I'm the same way.

I think most people’s does because we getting worse at emotional regulation which leads to more spiraling. Not for everyone but I think it’s pretty common.
